Saint Vibiana is a third century virgin martyr of the Roman Catholic Church. She is the patroness of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles where she is honored with a memorial feast on September 1. Since 2002, the relic remains of Vibiana are housed in the mausoleum of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. She was the namesake of the former Cathedral of Saint Vibiana in Los Angeles, California.

Vibiana was discovered in ancient catacombs near the Appian Way. A marble tablet adorned her tomb upon which was inscribed "to the soul of the innocent and pure Vibiana," above a laurel wreath. A wreath was a symbol of martydom among ancient Christians.Los Angeles Times" 6 Aug. 2007: A18.]
